in all fairness God talks of his experience and gives others in the bible their direct experiences, but God himself didn't write the bible
the bible was written by humans who either heard of events straight from God or witness miracles, disasters etc
the language was where it was at that point in time, that has nothing to do with God directly
he didn't take a pen and write a book
that's why there are so many "contradictions" in the bible
they aren't exactly contradictions tho, just differences of perception
but that's a totally diff subject
but yea from a story telling aspect it may be too simplistic but in my opinion you can't avoid it. the bible had to be that way
